I ran into this with HDMI on motherboard, not always though. My remedy was, since I had KDE connect on phone and PC, that I run a display shut down and wake command from the phone. It seems to wake something up in the OS

Last time I read about it, it said don’t install KDE-connect on the GNOME system , just use GS connect, or it breaks stuff

There were a few in the last couple of years, but not a widespread virus like Windows. There was a hiding in plain sight virus. Basically just files named similarly and a mechanism to hide itself when you ran ‘top’ type commands,

For what you are doing SketchUp might be the best tool. Its easy to work with and good with architectural stuff.

I have had Windows control the power setting of the card before, there were some settings in windows to alter how power was handled for the network adapter. Also some dell BIOSes have power settings for the mono/network that you can alter if its acting weirdly.

If you ssh login directly and issue same command, not In cockpit interface, does it react the same?

Says reboot, are you issuing a reboot or a shutdown poweroff? Entering sleep state 5 shout be power off right?

“Artisan Bread in 5 minutes” recipe. The 5 minutes is prep time, not the rest and bake time. 😀 https://artisanbreadinfive.com/2013/10/22/the-new-artisan-bread-in-five-minutes-a-day-is-launched-back-to-basics-updated/

Pixma just worked for me with GNOME ams the built in scanner app. If you mean network scanning, that’s a different story

If you have a machine with decent RAM them don’t worry about RAM usage. You don’t really gain anything by dropping 4 gig RAM usage down to 2 gig RAM.

I forget which distro now, but I installed one that on first boot cones to a welcome screen for adding a user. Install just got the OS ready to deploy. It was a bigger distro, but I forget

Pretty much the requirement for my wife. She really struggled with inconsistency of Windows and how slow it responded. Move to Linux, and she runs it fine with no more complaints, she just wants it identical after a version upgrade or if there is a reinstall ever needed. So for her I went with NixOS and have her config files stored for later.

Yeah not sure how it works on Mint, on OpenSUSE after reboot it asks if you want to enroll the new keys into it. If you miss the timer you will boot and driver will bork

Fair, I mean I have done that too, and would not recommend LOL

If you happen to choose OpenSUSE, the " install recommends " will detect nVidia and load some drivers to get it working, but you can also add a specific repo nVidia hosts for Leap and Tumbleweed and download the Drivers / Cuda etc. They work great, so ignore the previous commentor. Laptops with dual GPU need you to setup a switching app to save power, when you don’t need to power the nVidia. If your BIOS has a discrete graphics mode selection, you can choose hybrid, but if your OS has trouble you can set it to discrete only so nVidia is always used. I had to do this on one machine because the OS saw the two GPUs and was trying to treat them has two displays instead of one composite display choice

If you are on something like openSUSE, nVidia hosts a repo just for OpenSUSE Leap ams Tumbleweed, and that’s exactly where you get them from, and they work.

Two separate EFI boot Partitions if you dual boot. Its not worth letting Windows know about linux. Linux chainloads to Windows boot.

You can group Gnome Apps in their launching tool. (Same as you group and name apps on Android, just drag one onto another) Its a different idea right. Hit super key and start typing or select the app. Maybe Plasma is more what you want where everything is customizable.

3D CAD/Modeling on AMD graphics is fine. AMD is on the certification list for enterprise level CAD. I was running Proprietary CAD on Linux for a while.

Well really every single wave length could conceivably be a unique colour if we had receptors for it…what we see of the full spectrum, does not really represent the spectrum .

Since they stimulated only the M cone without the S and L getting the normal natural stimulation for green, they technically are seeing a new level of green colour (since red and blue got 0)
